A paw-fect ending. Gary Fisher earned a well-deserved cameo in the newest Star Wars film. The faithful companion of the late Carrie Fisher has been waiting for the day he could see his mom on the big screen — and he got a surprise for the ages. The French bulldog can be seen in the newest series film The Last Jedi.

After much speculation, the film’s director, Rian Johnson, confirmed the cameo in a tweet on December 5. “YES! Wow, good eyes!” he wrote in response to a follower who said, “@rianjohnson we @FanthaTracks want to know if you can confirm this cute little creature is #spacegary in #TheLastJedi”

And premiere night wasn’t just for the stars of the movie. During the screening in Los Angeles on Thursday, December 14, the actress’ former assistant, Corby McCoin, who has been taking care of the canine, brought him to the special event.
